ADVICE
Road safety
You are advised to learn how to use the
various radio functions (e.g.: storing sta-
tions) before starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly
when driving. Reception may be disturbed
by the presence of mountains, buildings or
bridges particularly when far away from
the station being listened to.
IMPORTANT When receiving traffic in-
formation, the volume may be higher than
normal.

The car sound system, fitted with CD play-
er, has been designed in accordance with
the special features of the passenger com-
partment, with a personalised design that
blends with the style of the dashboard. The
sound system cannot be adapted to other
vehicles and for this reason it cannot be re-
moved.
The radio is installed in a user-friendly po-
sition for the driver and passenger and the
graphics on the front panel make location
of the controls quick, facilitating use.
In the following pages you will find the in-
structions for use, which you are advised
to read through carefully.
Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life at
risk and that of other people. There-
fore the volume should always be ad-
justed in such a way that it is always
possible to hear the noises of the sur-
rounding environment (e.g.: horns, am-
bulance, police sirens, etc.).
WARNING
Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long opera-
tion with no need for particular mainte-
nance. In the event of a fault, contact a Fi-
at Dealership.
To clean the front panel only use a soft,
antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products might spoil the surface.

following brand:

sunlight, high temperatures or damp for
prolonged lengths of time to prevent
them from bending;
❒Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded surface of Compact Discs.

INTRODUCTION
Protected discs (and their cover) very of-
ten are not marked with the audio CD iden-
tification symbol: IMPORTANT Should copy-protected
CDs be used, then, few seconds may be
required for playing them. Moreover, due
to the proliferation of always new and dif-
ferent protection methods, it is not guar-
anteed that the CD player can play what-
ever protected disc. Copy protection is
often indicated on the CD cover in small
letters or hard to read characters. Usu-
ally it is indicated by writings like: “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols
like:TECHNICAL DATA
Power: 4 x 40 W
IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the evo-
lution of these systems, reading of all com-
pression formats is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT When loading a multi-ses-
sion CD, only the first session will be
played.
